QThreadPipe & QEvent: use a simpler atomic operation

This causes modern compilers (i.e., not MSVC) to emit a single
bit-test-and-set instruction instead of a cmpxchg. It's still an atomic
operation, so it's not that much faster (if at all), but it has simpler
encoding.

Previous:
000000000026bca0 <QEventDispatcherUNIX::wakeUp()>:
  26bca0:       mov    0x8(%rdi),%rdx
  26bca4:       xor    %eax,%eax
  26bca6:       mov    $0x1,%ecx
  26bcab:       lock cmpxchg %ecx,0x98(%rdx)
  26bcb3:       jne    26bcc5 <QEventDispatcherUNIX::wakeUp()+0x25>
  26bcb5:       mov    0x90(%rdx),%edi
  26bcbb:       mov    $0x1,%esi
  26bcc0:       jmp    c01d0 <eventfd_write@plt>
  26bcc5:       ret

Now:
  26b3a0:       mov    0x8(%rdi),%rax
  26b3a4:       lock btsl $0x0,0x98(%rax)
  26b3ad:       jae    26b3b0 <QEventDispatcherUNIX::wakeUp()+0x10>
  26b3af:       ret
  26b3b0:       mov    0x90(%rax),%edi
  26b3b6:       mov    $0x1,%esi
  26b3bb:       jmp    c11d0 <eventfd_write@plt>
